Why this quietness?
Why this seriousness?
Why this modesty?
Has the old lizard
Grown another tail?
Oh, my immutable love,
The impalpable pure-scented
Dawn that impales my thoughts,
Have thou reached an impasse?
For the clouds have gathered
And there is nothing more
To expect but the storm,
My sliding helpless slick rhythm,
Thy words are always covered with
Stitches of honey in my heart,
Who is this impious imp?
Rivalling with my angelic heart?
Indeed, you love is wet and slippery.

For the clouds have gathered
And there is nothing more
To expect but the storm,
My sliding helpless slick rhythm,
Thy words are always covered with
Stitches of honey in my heart,
Who is this impious imp?
Rivalling with my angelic heart?
Indeed, you love is wet and slippery.
